Cruse, has developed weakness in a suspensory ligament and has been eased up Commissar, who is a nice type of youngster by Lord Quex from Layina, had made good progress but his future is now regarded d °Court liy Favourite did pot accept for the Matamata Cup, but she is to contest the Rotorua Cup next Saturday. She is fit and should have excellent prospects. Trainer C. Morse, who has had a long period of ill-health, is again in hospital.J\ is the wish of his many friends that he will make a speedy recovery. D. J. Burgess is again riding work at Takanini, after a long spell caused through injuring his neck when Amtree fell at Ellerslie in November.

Most of the wins of Gaymiss have been, achieved over sprint distances, but she has given indications that she is likely to succeed over onger journeys. m„»« The fall he had in the Takapuna Plate does not appear to have been harmful to First Fdition. who should be rncine asain soon. First Edition is a galloper, of whom the best has yet to he seen, and he should earn earlv promotion to open company. Kiatere Maaii looks well after recent racing and is to make his next appearance at the Waikato meeting. He gallops well, but has been at a disadvantage in his races owing to failing to run straight.
